An artificial intelligence system that correctly predicted the last 3 elections says Trump will win

The polls have consistently showed Hillary Clinton with a lead
over Donald Trump in recent weeks, but an artificial intelligence
system has a different prediction for the outcome of the
presidential election.

The system, called MogIA, uses 20 million data points from
online platforms like Google, YouTube, and Twitter to come up
with its predictions,
according to CNBC. MogIA correctly predicted the past
three presidential elections as well as the Democratic and
Republican primaries.

"While most algorithms suffer from programmers/developer's
biases, MoglA aims at learning from her environment, developing
her own rules at the policy layer and develop expert systems
without discarding any data," Sanjiv Rai, the founder of
Indian start-up Genic.ai who developed MogIA, told CNBC.

MogIA uses data such as engagement with tweets and videos posted
to the platforms the system looks at. It found that Trump has
overtaken President Barack Obama's engagement numbers during the
2008 election by a margin of 25%.

To be fair, participation on social media networks wasn't as
robust in 2008 as it is today. And the MogIA system can't always
analyze whether a post about Trump is positive or negative,
making it difficult to gauge actual support.

Still, the system has been right in the past. In other elections,
the candidate with the most engagement online won.

"If Trump loses, it will defy the data trend for the first time
in the last 12 years since Internet engagement began in full
earnest," Rai wrote in a report obtained by CNBC.

This isn't the only rumble about polls possibly being wrong.

A professor who has accurately predicted the outcome of every
presidential election since 1984
said last month that Trump is most likely to win,
based on a model he developed that uses a series of
true/false statements to determine who is best positioned to take
the White House.

MogIA's prediction was made
before the FBI announced it was reviewing new emails
"pertinent" to the probe into Clinton's use of a private email
server as secretary of state.
